Book Purchases: Me? Buy books? What a silly thought.
Thoughts and ramblings: Oh, another month gone and still no reviews? I’m working on that I promise! This past month I was in Missouri for two weeks – including for the US election, which was interesting. I also had VACATION. It was wonderful, and it definitely helped restore me to semi-normal sleep and energy levels. I spent a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday with Alix, and then spent a few days with my family in Calgary celebrating my Opa’s 88th birthday.
Fingers are crossed that one of these days, very soon, I’ll write a review. I’ve read a few really interesting books, so I definitely have lots to talk about – I just need the time to write it down for you!
What DID happen at the end of November was #graffitireviews. The Literary Omnivore has a full post that I highly recommend, outlining how the entire thing started. But the short version is that there was a silly article, Cass made a few comments on Facebook that I found so hilarious I recommended she share on Twitter, it grew into a thing, and now we’re doing it for real! Reviews are going viral! Check out the Tumblr, and then do a few of your own!
Happy December all.
#graffitireviews <~~ I'm so in love with this
Me too therelentlessreader!
AWESOME!
I really like the idea of Graffiti Reviews
It looks like you read some interesting books this month. Are you going to review the book that I never dared review?
I love the idea too Iris
I’m really hoping to write some reviews yep 
Work is like that. Yet you managed to squeeze in some reading, that’s what is important. I am checking on your links. Thanks for sharing them.
Thanks Nana, I hope you enjoy!
Good to see you
Considering all the travelling and busy-ness that’s a great amount of reading. Loving the graffiti blog.
Thanks Charlie!
Amy! Want to do a Q&A type review of the Valenti book? No pressure, it’s just that I read it recently, too and never posted about it. ALSO yay graffiti reviews
Cass, is it too late to say that’s a great idea and I’d love to…? haha
Ooh, I love graffiti reviews! I missed all the action but must participate now!
I need to go do some now Athira! I’ve left it too long.
You don’t always have to post a book review to be a book blogger. Enjoy the ride of life Amy.
Thanks Howard!
Missouri must have been an interesting place to be for the election. wow!
Unfortunately, it really was Marie. heh
